programs popping up that i can't delete

hey
ok, i don't even know if i'm posting this in the right place
so i'm sorry if this is in the wrong place
my knowledge on computer softwares and stuff is really not that good

about a month ago these things popped up on my computer:

(i randomly tried to open this one with adobe reader and it's stuck like this)

they're located in the 'recent files' and when i go to delete, they pop up everytime i turn on the computer, and i'm pretty sure these are the things making my computer go funny - like when i open up paint shop pro & photoshop at the same time; it crashes both of them, sometimes i can't right click, sometimes i can't open folders, msn freezes etc

and it's just in general annoying because i have to keep restarting my pc and i don't know how to delete them... and i really don't know a lot about all of these things lol

help would be appreciated - thank you in advance (:

These just popped up? have you tried a virus scan? i can't see a reason why these would just pop up, because the file seems to have a weird extension.

I recon the problem is something else openening them and messing with your pc.

I suggest you read this thread and follow the instructions for malware removal help: IMPORTANT - Read This Before Posting For Malware Removal Help

Cheers,
Jamey
